New England Patriots OT Matt Kopa, who spent a majority of the season on the team's practice squad last season, is not a lock for the 53-man roster. The team has plenty of depth along the offensive line, and if the club elects to use OL Robert Gallery as a backup guard and tackle, it reduces Kopa's chances even more.

San Francisco 49ers CB William James (pelvis) and OT Matt Kopa (foot) have been cleared to take part in 11-on-11 work, reports Matt Maiocco, of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. James missed the team's offseason program with a hairline fracture in his pubic bone and Kopa is recovering from a foot injury.
